BrAmBiLLa
I've searched with this keyword:
- "Adobe Acrobat"
- Adobe runonceex
- Adobe Prof

and I've found result only about Adobe Reader, but nothink about Adobe Acrobat Professional.
Can someone link me a topic about that?
maniaq

There's an InstallShield Tuner available that lets you configure most of the "stuff" with Acrobat Pro 7. It also lets you specify the parameters to the MSI.

you really need to read the topic before getting on someone's but about it. He was searching for the FULL product, not the reader.

AcroPro.msi /qb will isntall Acrobat with he default options. Add the CDKEY to the Abcpy.ini file in the same folder (there is already one present, just enter your key)

boooggy

Powerhouse
Anyone know the Registry keys to get rid of the Yahoo Search Button and Printme Internet Printing (from the File menu)?

I tried to use the same keys that worked with Acrobat Reader 7, but they don't seem to work with the Full verion of Acrobat 7.

@boooggy
Have a try with the following link:

http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331297.html

It's for the whole Adobe Suit, but also only for the Acrobat part.

On monday, I'll have a look at work, how exactly I did it there, don't know it now.
Doc Symbiosis
You've got to install the msi. with the /passive switch. The serial number you've got to enter into the setup.ini.
Should look like this:
[Startup]
CmdLine=
SuppressWrongOS=Y
ScriptDriven=0
ScriptVer=1.0.0.1
DotNetOptionalInstallIfSilent=N
OnUpgrade=1
RequireExactLangMatch=0404,0804
Product=Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional
PackageName=AcroPro.msi
MsiVersion=2.0.2600.0
EnableLangDlg=N
UI=1000
DoMaintenance=Y
ProductCode={xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx}
ProductVersion=7.0.0
SuppressReboot=Y
PackageCode={xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx}
svortevik
Is there some way to choose a different dir for the instalation?

Does anyone have any idea on how to get around the Activation?? Like I mean make it unattended
oioldman
I use ths to not display th eyahoo link in th etoolbar, but user can re-display should they wish hough
CODE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\AVGeneral\cToolbars\cWebSearchView\cPositions\cInternal]
"iDockPosition"=dword:00000000
"iFrameB"=dword:00000000
"iFrameL"=dword:00000000

I'm not sure what exactly what they all do, but it does remove that button on the toolbar.

I'm gonna bump this up again to ask if anyone knows a way of activating Acrobat 7 Pro silently. I've looked around but no luck. I haven't tried the method that Doc Symbiosis suggested, but there's got to be an easier way to do this.

EDIT I'll also ask if anyone knows how to integrate the 7.01 and 7.02 updates into the main installer files.

Thanks in advance!
Sgt_Strider
I would like to know too if someone here knows.

MsiExec.exe /i AcroPro.msi /qb- ISX_SERIALNUMBER=%ISX_SERIALNUM% TRANSFORMS=1031.mst EULA_ACCEPT=YES USERNAME="%USERNAME%" COMPANYNAME="%COMPANYNAME%" INSTALLDIR="%INSTALLDIR%"

I don't testing, maybe works.

This doesn't solve the activation issue.
Zxian
@Gyzmo - You can also just enter the settings in the abcpy.ini file instead of using all those switches. It makes it much cleaner than your way. newwink.gif

But alas... still no auto-activation.
JuMz
Still no solution?
Zxian
I guess not... sad.gif

I finally managed to integrate the 7.0.1 and 7.0.2 updates into the source. Looking back on it, it's not all that hard.. but **** did I spend way too much time in VMware screwing around. The integration isn't "perfect", meaning that the updates still show up as being not installed in the Adobe Update program. The splash screen, about screen, file versions, etc. are all up to date however.

Before posting a guide, I'm trying to see if activation can be made unattended. And I hate to say this, but I'm thinking not. I've isolated the file and the two registry entries made as a result of activation, but the thing is super sensitive. Upon install it always tells me that the configuration has changed and you must reactivate. This may just be unavoidable using legit methods.

Lucky for you, they just released 7.0.3 update

All that time spent is not going to waste.

I think I've narrowed the activation process down to backing up
- the file B2896000.dat from "C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\adobe systems\product licences"
- the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe Systems\Licenses\Adobe LM Service" (its default value only, @ in REGEDIT 5 files)
- the self explanatory values named "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\7.0\AVGeneral\bActivated" and "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\ALM\B2896000\Activation..." - only the names are leading me to those, but once registered as a user, it is registered on the other user accounts too, so they might be useless.
I can't tell for sure, I am testing on the only computer with a Acrobat Pro license that I can put my hands on. (It might be vary depending on Windows reinstalls, MAC numbers and so on.)
Hence: it needs extra-testing. Pls help.
RogueSpear
The .dat file is the problem. I'm guessing that they're gathering all of your system config info and performing a hash function, which makes it extremely touchy. I can't even get the thing to work on the same machine from one install to the next.

just:

AdbeRdr70_enu_full.exe /w /v"/qb"

good luck
Incroyable HULK
I got this working:

CODE
SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Adobe Acrobatİ Pro 7" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "msiexec /i \"\\Serveur\Fr\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional\AcroPro.msi\" /qb- ISX_SERIALNUMBER=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX EULA_ACCEPT=YES" /f


BUT I'd like to have it installed in FRENCH... is there a switch I can add or a file I can modify because for now, it will install in english as default.



*** EDIT***

nevermind, I think I got it, I added
CODE
TRANSFORMS=1036.MST


Yep! it's working.
Doc Symbiosis
What is the number in the TRANSFORMS=1036.MST about? Is it the language ID?

Does that get around activation? Or is there no other way?
